Into the West, (and south.) Cuch's favorite New Zealand pics.

We begin in Auckland, strangely enough they pronounce it like "Oakland" not far from where I left. Across the dateline and equator at the same time can leave one a bit confused.
Here we have the welcoming gate at the airport, (the first bit of NZ I ever saw) then the skyline of Auckland, and two sides of New Zealand maritime history, a 100 meter long royal Mauri canoe and the Black Magic yacht, which won the America's Cup in 1995.

Day 2 in search of Weathertop. I did not actually get to the LoTR filming location as it is on private land but got within 2K of it. These are all from the north island not much more than an hour and a half south of Auckland, Near Port Waikato. The nearest I got to the location was called "Limestone Downs" and just one the edge. Fitting since the cliffs seen here mostly limestone. Last shot is my first view of the Tasman Sea on the west coast.

Very beautiful pictures. I was in Australia a couple months ago. Need to get back out that way again some time.
